French Polishing
Considered to be one of the most beautiful ways to finish wood, French polishing is virtually unique in that polish applied today will adhere to polish first applied a hundred years ago. This means that, providing the original French polished surface is still intact, there is no need to strip it off and start again when restoring an antique piece. It also makes it the perfect finish to ensure that a new item of furniture will become an heirloom. This no-nonsense guide to the process of applying layers of shellac to create a high-gloss surface includes all you need to know from choosing materials and setting up your workshop to preparing the surface and applying the finish. There is also a section on resolving common problems and plenty of helpful, practical tips. Whether you are an accomplished woodworker or a wood finishes novice this book will lead you through the history of French polishing and then explain, in a clear and straightforward way, how to carry out the process. There is one project - one to restore an existing finish and one to apply the polish to a new item of furniture - that are fully illustrated and thoughtfully explained.

Applications to Wind Up Companies
An application to wind up a company is one of the most common legal proceedings. Most are routine, but many are fiercely contested and involve important questions of law and the exercise of the court's discretion. The law which is applied to winding up applications is the same in a large number of jurisdictions, including England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore. This book states that law, analyzing morethan 1500 cases from England and other jurisdictions in the context of the English procedure for petitioning for winding up. As well as companies registered under the Companies Act, the book deals with petitions to wind up a large variety of other entities, including foreign companies, insolventpartnerships, friendly societies and building societies. Derek French is the co-author of "Mayson, French and Ryan on Company Law".
Post-Structuralist Joyce
This volume is devoted to translations of some of the most significant criticism of James Joyce to have appeared in French journals over the last twenty, years. Joyce has been a great stimulus for new modes of theoretical and critical inquiry in France, which have in turn exerted a profound influence on the intellectual climate both in the UK and in North America. In their shared preoccupations with the mechanisms of textuality and the implications thereof for the writing-and-reading subject, all the contributors to this volume, who include Hélène Cixous, Jacques Aubert, JeanMichel Rabaté, André Topia and Jacques Derrida, form part of the movement away from the structuralism that dominated intellectual discussion in the 1960s to what is now called (though not in France itself), 'post-structuralism'.
